Also, the grant of rights is not the Term of the agreement necessarily. The grant can extend beyond the Term. I don't see any court in the US upholding non compete language over the duration of copyright, which would be life plus. I could be wrong I suppose but if anyone here can find a single case that represents the law where a court ruled that an author could never again write fiction or even fiction in a given genre except through that one publisher, I'd like to see a cite to it.
